On “rejigging GenServer”

Is it by chance this video? Lib looks cool, have you had a look at ExActor? It might fit your needs too.

On “rejigging GenServer”

>I've never heard of someone saying that a single GenServer file itself is "very hard to read"/understand. That's rather surprising. [video I didn't necessarily like or care about everything he said in the video, but the part about GenServer struck a chord. It can't be the case that he and I are the only ones who have hit on this. BTW - I think his solution (later on the video) is a bit too clever, with unnecessary unicode things going on, etc.
